How long does it take for your mobile site to load? Five seconds? Ten seconds? These few seconds could be the difference between keeping visitors on your site or losing them – because people aren’t willing to wait. In fact, most sites lose half their visitors while loading.1 And 46% of people say that the most frustrating thing about browsing on their phone is waiting for slow pages to load.2

With a little help, we believe every business can have a fast mobile site. That’s why we’re launching a new set of features to test your site’s speed on Test My Site, which will show you:

Your site’s mobile speed: 50% of people expect a site to load in less than two seconds.3 Find out how fast your site loads.

The number of visitors you may be losing: When it comes to mobile speed, every second matters – for each additional second it takes a mobile page to load, conversions can drop by up to 20%.4 Learn how many people may be leaving your site during the time it takes to load.

How you compare to the competition: See how your business stacks up against others in your industry.

How to make your site faster: We’ll email you a personalized assessment with specific recommendations on how to speed up your site.

Maybe i'm late to the game to see this, but it's new to me. What I find amazing about this... is that it's free. There are companies offering similar software charging monthly.

If you like building ads with both a design view and HTML view, this seems like an interesting tool. Not surprising that Google would release a tool in this market.

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 04:02:57 GMTI haven't tried this myself but it might be useful for members redoing a website:The HTML to WordPress app looks like a very interesting and useful resource if you are currently working with an older static HTML website and you want to convert it over to WordPress with all the benefits of a modern, responsive, and fully customizeable WordPress site.

Upon landing on the HTML to WordPress homepage you see an area to upload your HTML website zip file. That’s pretty much it. Below that you basically have a landing page for convincing people to use the product... I found a demo HTML site and uploaded it to the app....

The WordPress theme was presented within maybe 30 seconds to a minute. After that, the HTML to WordPress tool showed the WordPress theme as if it had been installed on WordPress already. They allow you to make changes and customizations directly from the tool, but these are mainly previews, giving you a taste of how the theme seamlessly works with WordPress.... Once everything looks good, you can locate the Download Theme button on the upper right-hand corner. Click on the button to be directed to the shopping cart.

The payment page specifies that the price for converting one page is $4.90.... However, it turns out the $4.90 is for the complete conversion regardless of how large the website is.
